The distance between the top of my wheels and the bodywork varies on either side of the car....

on the passenger side it is 600mm but on the drivers side it is only 540mm.... is this just one of those things and does trhe distance seem about right.... I am running newish tyres with a 60 profile.

the distance i mean is this gap: ...

Haven't measured the back ones.... but look like this...

I can get the bonnett open and on its stay no problem so I am guessing that it is just one of those TVR oddities and nothing to worry about.

Yep its one of the TVR features,i think its to do with the molds wearing

So long as the distance from chassis to ground at all four corner is equal (on a flat piece of ground) then its ok

Never measure gap from wheel to wheel arch to set suspension height

cheers Colin just needed a bit of reassurance thats all. not planning any technical suspension set ups (wouldn't know where to start!!)

............ surprised you didn't comment on my bonnett needing moving back a couple of cm's
